That makes me slightly nervous, because our big powerpc boxes tend to
trip on these scaling issues before others.

But the spanned pages check is just:

void try_offline_node(int nid)
{
pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
...
if (pgdat->node_spanned_pages)
return;

So I guess that's pretty cheap, and it's only O(nodes), which should
never get that big.
